Patent AU-5825390-A (AU)
Title: A tampon and a method for its manufacture
Inventor: HODEN EBBE
IPC: A61F13/20
Filed: 1990-05-10
Abstract: A tampon comprises a compacted tampon blank, which in turn is formed by winding a liquid-permeable strip and a string of absorbent material placed thereon to a roll and inserting strip-parts which project from the sides of the string, inwardly of the innermost turn or winding of the roll. In the process of manufacturing the tampon, the strip carrying the string can be wound around a first, tubular mandrel, and one strip-part can be inserted into the mandrel through one open mandrel-end located adjacent the inner edge of the strip-part. A second tubular mandrel is then inserted through the open end of the first mandrel and the first mandrel then withdrawn. With the second mandrel surrounded by the first, inserted strip-part and located with an open end adjacent the inner edge of the other strip-part, the other strip-part is inserted into the second mandrel, which is then withdrawn from the thus formed tampon blank, which is thereafter compacted or compressed.

Patent AU-6312490-A (AU)
Title: Annular hole cutter
Inventor: MERRILL DERRICK
IPC: B23B51/04
Filed: 1990-09-24
Abstract: A tipped annular hole cutter is made by brazing all the cutting tips (30) simultaneously to the cylindrical wall (12) of the cutter body. The tips (30) have outer and inner lands (32, 34) which locate against the outer and inner surfaces (52, 54) of the cylindrical wall (12). This accurately locates the tips radially during brazing. The radially inner face (46) of the tip (30) is inclined so as to define an inner clearance face which has the necessary circumferential and radial clearances without there being any need to grind the inner face (46) after brazing. The tips (30) are received in skewed slots (18) whose angle of skew (alpha) is less than the angle of spiral (beta) of the flutes (70). The front rake face (43) is ground to provide an optimum cutting action whereas the flutes are designed independently to achieve optimum chip removal.

Title: Novel secretion factors for gram-positive microorganisms, genes encoding them and methods of using it
Inventor: QUAX WILHELMUS JOHANNES
IPC: C07K14/32
Filed: 1996-07-05
Abstract: Heterologous protein secretion from Gram-positive bacteria, in particular from Bacilli has, with few exceptions, met with little success. Incompatibility of the heterologous proteins with the protein secretion machinery of the host is the main cause of this effect. This limiting factor for the production of heterologous proteins in commercially significant concentrations from Bacillus subtilis is removed by overexpressing the Bacillus subtilis protein FtsY or FtsY protein in combination with overexpression of other members of the bacterial signal recognition particle. Said gene(s) is(are) overexpressed in Bacillus host cells expressing a heterologous protein which then shows an increased amount of the heterologous protein secreted in the surrounding medium.

Title: Skin massaging device
Inventor: KAESER CHARLES
IPC: A47K5/12
Filed: 1982-04-28
Abstract: A skin massage device for both massaging skin and applying a cosmetic product through retractable protuberances on the massaging surface. A first plurality of the protuberances are retractable into the massing surface, and include a piston with an outlet opening in its exterior side. A rod affixed to a housing in the massaging surface is engaged by the piston and this seals the opening. Upon massaging pressure applied to an annular bead on the piston, the piston is retracted into the massaging surface, opening the piston opening and permitting exit of cosmetic product. The piston extends into a housing supported at the massaging surface and the housing communicates into the reservoir for being filled. The piston includes a side wall which blocks communication between the housing and the reservoir when the piston is retracted, whereby cosmetic product in the housing is forced out the opening in the retracted position of the piston.
